Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 50: The Correct Way to Clear the Level

Are you still going?

Murong Can's voice trembled slightly. He saw Yang Guangming struggling to score less than 200 points, and his posture was not graceful at all. He was reluctant to go up and embarrass himself.

Lu Zhao chuckled: "Since we're already here..."

Shi Jian patted his chest and said, "That's right, if you don't go on stage, are you even a man? So what if your score is low? Facing difficulties head-on is what makes life complete."

Murong Can remained silent and listless.

In the blink of an eye, another figure jumped from the second floor.

Lu Zhao's expression immediately turned serious. He took two steps to the side and entered a state of serious observation, because it was Shen Xianke who was jumping down now.

She landed as lightly as a leaf and walked towards the entrance. After enlisting, she cut her ponytail, and her hair was now shorter than shoulder-length, making her look more capable.

In fact, not only Lu Zhao, but everyone's attitude became more serious at this moment.

Yang Guangming only served to demonstrate the function of the mechanism just now. Now that Shen Xianke has appeared, she will surely be able to demonstrate the correct way to pass the level.

"Zhao, isn't Shen Xianke amazing?" Chen Qinhu asked, leaning closer.

"How would I know?"

"Oh, I thought you and her were quite close."

Upon hearing this name, Shi Jian suddenly became alert: "Is this the girl you have a crush on?"

"...I didn't have a crush on anyone!"

Lu Zhao was speechless. When he was having an awkward conversation with Zhang Zilian, this guy overheard him and even made a boastful statement about tying someone up and bringing them back.

Fortunately, Wang Zhao activated the switch to the secret passage again, drawing all attention downstairs.

If Yang Guangming's charge was like a wild boar rolling around, then Shen Xianke's was like a startled swan skimming the shore.

Facing the high-speed robotic arm that attacked in the first stage, she remained calm and composed. With a light touch of her toes, she nimbly moved up and down, dodging all the attacks like a butterfly flitting among flowers, just like the light-footed skills in a martial arts drama.

A number popped up on the scoreboard: 100.

"Wow--"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Even Ji Ye and the others couldn't help but nod in approval; this move was indeed brilliant.

"As expected of the Shen family's Qingling Movement Technique, it is indeed extraordinary. This girl has some of the style of her ancestors."

Chen Qinhu was stunned: "I didn't know she was this strong."

Murong Can teased Yang Guangming, who had returned to the second floor, saying, "Old Yang, someone else got the score of five levels in one round."

Yang Guangming's face turned red, but he couldn't refute it.

She only had time to say a few words before Shen Xianke had already entered the second level of unarmed combat.

It's still the same robotic arms, but their moves are random, and everyone has to choose a strategy on the fly.

This test assesses one's skillful understanding and mastery of martial arts techniques. As long as one has the moves in mind, one can immediately choose the most appropriate solution without much thought.

Crackling sound.

Shen Xianke's unarmed martial arts skills were also quite good, only slightly inferior to her agility. At her age, she was already considered top-notch, but because Wang Zhao's freakish design had such high stats, she was still hit twice.

Score: 88.

She continued to parry and counter the moves until she reached the third short weapon martial arts segment.

"This is completely different from what Old Yang just said. Could she be very good with weapons too?" Murong Can said blankly.

It's normal for scions of aristocratic families to have an advantage now, as they start practicing martial arts earlier. However, he could see that even if he started practicing martial arts earlier, it would be difficult for him to reach the same level.

Lu Zhao knew that he didn't need to look at the third step.

Because the special skill above their head is called "Qingling Rapier"!

Short weapons are their specialty.

Clap clap clap!

The standard-issue sword used in practice flew through her hands, and in this phase, all attacks were easily deflected.

Score: 99.

The final two medium-to-close range shooting challenges were a bit weaker, with scores of 88 and 85 respectively.

Time score: 93.

She did take a quick look before firing.

In conclusion, the final total score was 547.

The second-floor corridor was quiet, mainly because the contrast with the previous scene was too stark.

Murong Can patted Yang Guangming on the back: "It's okay, Lao Yang. Your face is dark, so they probably can't see what you look like."

Shi Jian: "Then we just need to recognize the black face to know it's him."

"....."

While the group was joking around, Lu Zhao, who was standing next to them, turned off Swift Thinking and Eagle Eye.

"I think I understand, but it would be best to collect some more data."

A few steps away, Minghui exclaimed sincerely, "Could all of them be this strong?"

By this time, the more Lu Zhao looked at him, the more he felt that he was like a real monk, with a peaceful state of mind, never competing or fighting, and a very popular and flattering person.

However, he knew that not all of those aristocratic scions were that strong, because among the eight people, only two had special skills above their heads. One was Shen Xianke, and the other had a green, lethal special skill above his head.

He was fairly certain that Shen Xianke had started practicing martial arts early and possessed high talent, but the other seven people were not necessarily so.

As analyzed earlier, this system can not only provide special skills, but also intelligence. He can tell who is more dangerous in a crowd with just a glance.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the side, and Shi Jian jumped down with a thud. At the same time, a chubby boy from the group of eight aristocratic scions also landed on the first floor.

The two exchanged a glance, then both rushed toward the entrance, as if anyone who was slower would suffer a loss.

"Stop right there!"

Xin Li shouted, stopping the two of them, and pointed at Shi Jian, "You go first."

Humph.

The chubby boy stepped aside.

Shi Jian never wastes words; he plunged headlong into the tunnel.

Crackling, clattering, clanging, banging.

Total score: 266.

He completely overwhelmed Murong Can in a one-on-one fight, so it's normal that he's several tens of points taller than Yang Guangming. But as Lu Zhao thought, his martial arts skills were terrible in the elite class. When he was training with him, Lu Zhao deliberately held back his techniques and only used brute force to train his physique.

Upon seeing the score, the chubby boy scoffed, stood at the intersection deliberately waiting for him to circle back from the exit, and whispered, "I thought you were something special, but watch my show."

After saying that, he plunged in as well.

The chubby boy looked bulky and was actually quite clumsy, but after entering the formation, he only took three attacks.

Because after he caught the attack of the mechanism, he used a very steady movement to dodge it time and time again. Although he was slower than Shi Jian, he still managed to get 82 points in the level.

In the second round, he directly entered his advantageous range, scoring 89 points in unarmed skills, 82 points in short weapons, and over 80 points in shooting. Including the time score of over 80 points, he scored a total of 501 points, barely making it into the 500-point range.

After coming out, he looked at Shi Jian on the second floor and provocatively made a downward gesture.

Shi Jian remained unmoved, his heart undisturbed, only wondering, "Liu Yi, why are their shooting scores so high? I don't think I'm any worse."

Brother, aren't you doing alright?

Lu Zhao was convinced, but still explained, "Because they should both be at the Steel Bone Realm, their physical stability will be greatly improved, which will enhance their movement techniques and close combat skills."

Shi Jian nodded: "I'll challenge them once I reach the Steel Bone Realm."

"...Stone, to be honest, if your martial arts skills don't see a breakthrough improvement, you should consider pursuing a special skills path."

Lu Zhao was at his wit's end; this guy's talent in martial arts was indeed mediocre.

"Okay. When are you going to go?" Shi Jian never wastes time internally, nor does he worry about the future.

Lu Zhao replied, "No rush, let's take another look."

Next, Minghui and another student from the elite class took the stage. One scored 382 and the other 366, which is considered top-tier in the elite class. This did not cause much of a stir, but it made people like Murong Can, who were worried about making a fool of themselves, even more hesitant to participate.

So, naturally, the remaining six members of the pre-selected eight-person group went up one after another, and their scores were all above 400, with the better ones approaching 500. They did not surpass the little fat guy from before, but it was enough to give them a crushing advantage over the elite class, and they firmly occupied the top eight spots.

"Shall we head out now?"

In the hallway, the arrogant chubby boy called out, "There's nothing to see here."

Shen Xianke remained silent. A slightly older man beside her glanced at the opposite side and said, "Oh no, the Academician and the Captain of the Inner Division are still here."

"So what? Did we perform badly?"

The man said disdainfully, "Didn't your parents tell you to keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble?"

The chubby boy rolled his eyes but didn't retort, since the other members of the group of eight were his kind.

Just as the two were arguing, another figure jumped into the arena.

The arrogant little fat boy subconsciously looked over, but didn't rush to say anything, because the big tattoo on his arm was really intimidating.
